Today, the Safari sits down with Emily Mack to talk about grief. In a short period of time, the zoo Emily formerly worked at lost four animals on her string. To put it mildly, this was NOT a good time for Emily or her team. So we go into great detail on the relationships she had with her animals, what the losses felt like, and what living with and getting past that grief looked like to Emily.
